Hi Istvan, Do you have a good source to buy pumice in Europe? I searched but didn't find. Many thanks.

Thanks all again for your tips. I placed my plant in a more bright place, I will see. If it doesn't work, I will try the big temperature swings day-to-night. ;-) If I succeed, be sure that you will now ! 😄 Best regards.

Hi all, thank you all for your help. I will try to increase the light first, then try the shoe box under the bed if it doesn't work! 😊

Thank you all! 👍

HI all, thank you for your answers. Yes I know it has a reputation for being difficult to make flower. And I must admit that this is partly what made me want to buy it. ;) Now, I only have to wait 15 or 20 years (if I'm lucky!) to admire its flowers. 🙃

Ok, thank you, I understand better now. 👍 However, even if the size of the plant is obviously not sufficient to determine if it is capable of flowering or not, and if it is necessary to take into account the other parameters that you mention, I would like to know if my plant is close adult...

Thank you very much 👍 Is 13 cm width for the whole plant or for one leaf? My Woluwense is around 25 cm width! Maybe it is mislabeled? And where may I find the database you're talking about please? Many thanks.

Hello all, Everything is said in the title! ;) What is the approximate wingspan of a mature flowering size Paphiopedilum 'Woluwense'? Thanks or your help.

Finally, after years of waiting, my Paphiopedilum bellatulum is flowering. This is one of my oldest Paphiopedilum of the subgenus Brachypetalum. I bought it in February 2017 and this is the first time that I managed to complete its flowering even though it has started numerous flower stalks...

Hi, thanks all for your kind comments. @Paphluvr: Yes, I use the following lens + stacking method: Nikon 105 AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Have a nice day.

Hi all, here is my Paphiopedilum henryanum, its flower has just faded.

Hi all, thank you very much for your kind comments. @big923cattleya: you're welcome, it's a pleasure to share our passion, and I agree 100% with what you say, this species is apart and among my favorites. 👍 @GuRu: Thank you Rudolf. Maybe I took my picture a little bit more closer than usual...

Hello all, Here is one of my 3 Paphiopedilum fairrieanum blooming. It is a cross between P. fairrieanum 'Big Red' x P. fairrieanum 'Turban King'. No merit, I received the plant in buds.

Beautiful Istvan! How tall is the plant?

Hello everyone, Well first of all, I am really sorry for being so late in my answer, but I was really busy these last days. And thank you very much for your interest in my problem, your interesting answers and your useful pictures southernbelle! When I received my plant, the leaf didn’t show...

Thank you or your answer Happypaphy7, I will have to find such a lab as I don't know any. Regards.

Hello all, What is the origin of these points on my Paphiopedilum lowii in your opinion? Could a virus be the cause or is it more probably insect bites? Only one leaf shows these symptoms. Thank you in advance for your help.

Not supposed to be, but it looks like. ;-)

Hello all, here is my Paphiopedilum concolor 'Bear' x 'Golden Emperor' flowering at the moment. Have a nice day.

Is there a difference between plants obtained from natural and artificial crossings, except that it is possible to artificially cross the plants which seem to us the prettiest? If not, what is the point of giving them a different name?
